Buffalo Sandwiches

, , , , 3 Comments

So this dinner creation was sort of my version of “Chopped” when I wanted to finish the last of the Thanksgiving turkey but had already resold it to my family in the original format for the first night of leftovers and made a Turkey Pot Pie for Round Two, or would that be Round Three? I’m posting this recipe here today, knowing that your turkey meat is long gone but thinking that this would be an easy dinner to make using a rotisserie chicken. My family absolutely loved these Buffalo Sandwiches (notice how I left out the meat so that you can sub in your own?). Enjoy!
